  6. Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for 30-36 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Prepare caramel filling by melting remaining butter and combining with brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until thickened.
  9. Beat cold cream cheese until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in cooled brown butter.
  10. Once cakes are cooled, layer with caramel filling between them and frost with cream cheese frosting.
